Production — Fifteen gallon water tanks

Fifteen gallon water tanks for war housing trailers are made in the metal shop of the Western Trailer Company of Los Angeles.

Experiments to find satisfactory substitutes for metal tanks have not been successful to date. The nearest approach to a solution was a specially treated wooden tank.

April 1942
